How to create user group by web service?

I have read the "Create Group" section of the web service help.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat … tml#135892

However, I cannot find the method to create user group by web service. Anyone has an idea?

Thanks

I stumbled upon the same problem and found this forum, however the link above doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone give a helping hand out there? Thanks

The link above is the format of the web service call

Format: https:// "example.com"/api/xml?action=principal-update&type=group&has-children=1&description="SomeDescriptionHere"&name="GroupName"

You can replace the parameters you want

1- Create user:

http://domain.server.acrobat.com/api/xml?action=principal-update&first-name=First&last-name=Last&login=name@domain.com&password=abcabc&type=user&send-email=false&has-children=0&email=name@domain.com

2- Get principal-id of the added user from XML, or you can get it via next command:

http://domain.server.acrobat.com/api/xml?action=principal-list&filter-type=user

3- Get principal-id of the group you want:

http://domain.server.acrobat.com/api/xml?action=principal-list&filter-type=group

4- Add user into the group:

http://domain.server.acrobat.com/api/xml?action=group-membership-update&group-id=123&principal-id=456&is-member=true

Where group-id (123) is the group's principal-id, and principal-id (456) is the user's principal-id.
